How is the qualification graded and assessed?

The overall grade for the qualification is a ‘pass’. To achieve a pass for the full qualification, a learner must achieve all the required units within the specified qualification structure. To pass a unit a learner must: achieve all the specified learning outcomes satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid

evidence for each criterion show that the evidence is their own. The qualifications are designed to be assessed: in the workplace or in conditions resembling the workplace, as specified in the assessment

requirements/strategy for the sector.

Assessment strategy

The assessment strategy for these qualifications has been included in Annexe D. They have been developed by ConstructionSkills in partnership with employers, training providers, awarding organisations and the regulatory authorities. The assessment strategy includes details on: the requirements for assessment in the workplace and the circumstances

where simulation is permitted the criteria for defining a realistic working environment, where it is

permitted the roles and occupational competence of assessors, expert witnesses,

internal verifiers and standards verifiers quality control of assessment evidence requirements. Learners may provide evidence of occupational competence from: current practice where evidence is generated from a current job role a programme of development where evidence comes from

assessment opportunities built into a learning/training programme whether at or away from the workplace

the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) where a learner can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment criteria within a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess without undertaking a course of development. They must submit sufficient, reliable and valid evidence for assessment, internal and standards verification purposes. RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit, several units or a whole qualification

a combination of these.


13

It is important that the evidence provided to satisfy the unit and learning outcomes’ assessment criteria is:

Valid relevant to the standards for which competence is claimed

Authentic produced by the learner

Current sufficiently recent to create confidence that the same skill, understanding or knowledge persist at the time of the claim

Reliable indicates that the learner can consistently perform at this level

Sufficient fully meets the requirements of the standards.

Types of evidence (to be read in conjunction with the assessment strategy in Annexe D)

To successfully achieve a unit the learner must gather evidence which shows that they have met the required standard specified by the assessment criteria. Evidence can take a variety of different forms including the examples below. Centres should refer to the assessment strategy for information about which of the following are permissible. direct observation of the learner’s performance by their assessor (O) outcomes from oral or written questioning (Q&A) products of the learner’s work (P) personal statements and/or reflective accounts (RA) outcomes from simulation, where permitted by the assessment strategy

(S) professional discussion (PD) assignment, project/case studies (A) authentic statements/witness testimony (WT) expert witness testimony (EPW) evidence of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). The abbreviations may be used for cross-referencing purposes. Learners can use one piece of evidence to prove their knowledge, skills and understanding across different assessment criteria and/or across different units. It is, therefore, not necessary for learners to have each assessment criterion assessed separately. Learners should be encouraged to cross-reference their evidence to the relevant assessment criteria. Evidence must be made available to the assessor, internal verifier and Edexcel standards verifier. A range of recording documents is available on our website www.edexcel.com. Alternatively, centres can develop their own recording documents.

Centre recognition and approval

Centre recognition

Centres that have not previously offered Edexcel accredited qualifications need to apply for and be granted centre recognition and approval as part of the process for approval to offer individual qualifications. New centres must complete a centre recognition and approval application and a qualification approval application. Existing centres will be given ‘automatic approval’ for a new qualification if they are already approved for a qualification that is being replaced by the new qualification and the conditions for automatic approval are met. Centres already holding Edexcel approval and which have a history of good external quality assurance outcomes are able to gain qualification approval for a different level or different sector via Edexcel online.

Approvals agreement

All centres are required to enter into an approvals agreement which is a formal commitment by the head or principal of a centre to meet all the requirements of the specification and any linked codes or regulations. If centres do not comply with the agreement, Edexcel will act to protect the integrity of the awarding of qualifications. This could result in the suspension of certification or withdrawal of approval.

Quality assurance

Detailed information on Edexcel’s quality assurance processes is given in Annexe B.

What resources are required?

Each qualification is designed to support learners working in the construction and the built environment sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualifications and the assessment of the learning outcomes and they must be of industry standard. The centre and staff involved in the delivery of a qualification must take health and safety requirements into account. Where provision is made by the Sector Skills Council or Standards Setting Body for assessment to be undertaken in a Realistic Working Environment (RWE), the RWE must provide the same conditions as the normal day-to-day working environment, with a similar range of demands, pressures and requirements for cost-effective working. Centres must meet any specific resource requirements given in Annexe D: Assessment strategy. Staff assessing learners must meet the requirements within the overarching assessment strategy for the sector.

The unit title is accredited on the QCF and this form of words will appear on the learner’s Notification of Performance (NOP).

This is the unit owner’s reference number for the specified unit.

This code is a unique reference number for the unit.

All units and qualifications within the QCF have a level assigned to them, which represents the level of achievement. There are nine levels of achievement, from Entry level to level 8. The level of the unit has been informed by the QCF level descriptors and, where appropriate, the NOS and/or other sector/professional.

All units have a credit value. The minimum credit value is one, and credits can only be awarded in whole numbers. Learners will be awarded credits when they achieve the unit.

A notional measure of the substance of a qualification. It includes an estimate of the time that might be allocated to direct teaching or instruction, together with other structured learning time, such as directed assignments, assessments on the job or supported individual study and practice. It excludes learner-initiated private study.

This provides a summary of the purpose of the unit.

The assessment/evidence requirements are determined by the SSC. Learners must provide evidence for each of the requirements stated in this section.

Learning outcomes state exactly what a learner should know, understand or be able to do as a result of completing a unit.

The assessment criteria of a unit specify the standard a learner is expected to meet to demonstrate that a learning outcome, or a set of learning outcomes, has been achieved.

Learners must reference the type of evidence they have and where it is available for quality assurance purposes. The learner can enter the relevant key and a reference. Alternatively, the learner and/or centre can devise their own referencing system.

This provides a summary of the assessment methodology to be used for the unit.

The learner should use this box to indicate where the evidence can be obtained eg portfolio page number.

The learner should give the date when the evidence has been provided.

This unit must be assessed in a work environment, in accordance with: the Additional Requirements for Qualifications using the title NVQ in the

QCF the Construction Skills Consolidated Assessment Strategy for

Construction and the Built Environment. Assessors for this unit must have verifiable, current industry experience and a sufficient depth of relevant occupational expertise and knowledge, and must use a combination of assessment methods as defined in the Consolidated Assessment Strategy. Workplace evidence of skills cannot be simulated.

Assessment methodology

Evidence of achievement of this unit should be drawn from the workplace, except where ConstructionSkills makes provision for evidence to be produced through simulation, as specified in the ConstructionSkills overarching assessment strategy. An assessment record must be created that identifies the assessment criteria that have been met and cross-references these to the evidence provided. The assessment record should include details of the type of evidence and the date of assessment. The unit specification or suitable centre documentation could be used to form an assessment record.

Unit 6: Setting Out Secondary Dimensional Work Control in the Workplace

Unit reference number: L/600/8101

QCF level: 2

Credit value: 8


Unit summary

The aim of this unit is to illustrate the skills, knowledge and understanding required to confirm competence in setting out secondary dimensional work control in the workplace within the relevant sector of industry.


This unit must be assessed in a work environment and in accordance with: the Additional Requirements for Qualifications using the title NVQ in the


Construction and the Built Environment – Craft, Supervisory, Technical, Managerial and Professional Units and Qualifications with NVQ in the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) title and SVQs.

Assessors for this unit must use a combination of the following assessment methods: observation of normal work activities within the workplace that clearly

confirms the required skills questioning the learner on knowledge criteria that clearly confirms the

required understanding review other forms of evidence that can clearly confirm industry required

skills, knowledge and understanding. Assessors for this unit must have verifiable, current industry experience and a sufficient depth of occupational expertise and knowledge of setting out secondary dimensional work control to be effective and reliable when confirming a learner’s competence. Workplace evidence of skills cannot be simulated.


Evidence of achievement of this unit should be drawn from the workplace, except where ConstructionSkills makes provision for evidence to be produced through simulation, as specified in the ConstructionSkills overarching assessment strategy.



60

An assessment record must be created that identifies the assessment criteria that have been met and cross-references these to the evidence provided. The assessment record should include details of the type of evidence and the date of assessment. The unit specification or suitable centre documentation could be used to form an assessment record.

Unit 8: Installing Drainage in the Workplace

Unit reference number: Y/504/6775

QCF level: 2

Credit value: 19


Unit summary

The aim of this unit is to illustrate the skills, knowledge and understanding required to confirm competence in installing drainage in the workplace within the relevant sector of industry.


This unit must be assessed in a work environment, in accordance with:

the Additional Requirements for Qualifications using the title NVQ in the QCF

the ConstructionSkills Consolidated Assessment Strategy for Construction and the Built Environment.

Assessors for this unit must have verifiable, current industry experience and a sufficient depth of relevant occupational expertise and knowledge, and must use a combination of assessment methods as defined in the Consolidated Assessment Strategy. Workplace evidence of skills cannot be simulated. This unit must be assessed against two of the following endorsements: pipework inspection chambers surface water systems foul water systems.


Evidence of achievement of this unit should be drawn from the workplace, except where ConstructionSkills makes provision for evidence to be produced through simulation, as specified in the ConstructionSkills overarching assessment strategy. An assessment record must be created that identifies the assessment criteria that have been met and cross-references these to the evidence provided. The assessment record should include details of the type of evidence and the date of assessment.



76

The unit specification or suitable centre documentation could be used to form an assessment record.

Credit value: 8


Unit summary

The aim of this unit is to illustrate the skills, knowledge and understanding required to confirm competence in slinging and signalling the movement of loads (secondary role) in the workplace within the relevant sector of industry.








skills, knowledge and understanding. Assessors for this unit must have verifiable, current industry experience and a sufficient depth of occupational expertise and knowledge of slinging and signalling the movement of loads to be effective and reliable when confirming a learner’s competence. Workplace evidence of skills cannot be simulated.


Evidence of achievement of this unit should be drawn from the workplace, except where ConstructionSkills makes provision for evidence to be produced through simulation, as specified in the ConstructionSkills overarching assessment strategy.



242

An assessment record must be created that identifies the assessment criteria that have been met and cross-references these to the evidence provided. The assessment record should include details of the type of evidence and the date of assessment. The unit specification or suitable centre documentation could be used to form an assessment record.

Annexe B: Quality assurance

Key principles of quality assurance

A centre delivering Edexcel qualifications must be an Edexcel recognised and approved centre and must have approval for the individual qualifications that it is offering.

The centre agrees, as part of gaining recognition and centre approval, to abide by specific terms and conditions relating to the effective delivery and quality assurance of assessment. The centre must abide by these conditions throughout the period of delivery.

Edexcel makes available to centres a range of materials and opportunities to exemplify the processes required for effective assessment and to provide examples of effective standards. Approved centres must use the guidance on assessment to ensure that staff who are delivering Edexcel accredited qualifications are applying consistent standards.

An approved centre must follow agreed protocols for: standardisation of assessors; planning, monitoring and recording of assessment processes; internal verification and recording of internal verification processes and dealing with special circumstances, appeals and malpractice.

Quality assurance processes

The approach to quality assured assessment is made through a partnership between a recognised and approved centre and Edexcel. Edexcel is committed to ensuring that it follows best practice and uses appropriate technology to support quality assurance processes where practicable. The specific arrangements for working with centres will vary. Edexcel seeks to ensure that the quality-assurance processes it uses do not inflict undue bureaucracy on centres, and works to support them in providing robust internal quality-assurance processes. The learning outcomes and assessment criteria in each unit set out the standard to be achieved by each learner in order to gain each unit and, through satisfying the rules of combination, the whole qualification. Edexcel operates a quality-assurance process, designed to ensure that these standards are maintained by all assessors and verifiers. For the purposes of quality assurance, all individual qualifications and units are considered as a whole. Centres offering these qualifications must be committed to ensuring the quality of the units and qualifications they offer, through effective standardisation of assessors and internal verification of assessor decisions. Centre quality assurance and assessment processes are monitored by Edexcel.

Edexcel quality-assurance processes will involve: gaining centre recognition and approval - if a centre is not currently

approved to offer Edexcel qualifications - and qualification approval through satisfying the Edexcel approved centre criteria

visits to centres, conducted by occupationally competent and qualified Edexcel Standards Verifiers for sampling of internal verification and assessment processes, and assessor decisions for the occupational sector. The minimum frequency of Standards Verifiers’ visits to centres is usually two per year (a total of two days per year). The exact frequency and duration of Standards Verifier visits must reflect a centre’s performance, taking account of the number:

o of assessment sites

o and throughput of candidates

o and turnover of assessors

o and turnover of internal verifiers.

the provision of support, advice and guidance towards the achievement of National Occupational Standards.

Centres are required to declare their commitment to ensuring quality and to providing appropriate opportunities for learners that lead to valid and accurate assessment outcomes.

Annexe C: Registration and certification

Registration

Details of the process for registration of learners for the qualification in this specification are provided in the Edexcel Information Manual, published annually. Centres must register learners promptly on their chosen qualification and by the registration deadlines given in the Edexcel Information Manual.

What are the access arrangements and special considerations for the qualifications in this specification?

Centres are required to recruit learners to Edexcel qualifications with integrity. Appropriate steps should be taken to assess each applicant’s potential and a professional judgement should be made about their ability to successfully complete the programme of study and achieve the qualification. This assessment will need to take account of the support available to the learner within the centre during their programme of study and any specific support that might be necessary to allow the learner to access the assessment for the qualification. Centres should consult Edexcel’s policy on learners with particular requirements. Edexcel’s policy on access arrangements and special considerations for Edexcel qualifications aims to enhance access to the qualifications for learners with disabilities and other difficulties (as defined by the Equality Act 2010) without compromising the assessment of skills, knowledge, understanding or competence. For details, please refer to Access Arrangements and Special Considerations for BTEC and Edexcel NVQ Qualifications, available on our website: www.edexcel.com.

Certification

Details of the process for reporting learners’ success to Edexcel and for claiming certification are given in the Edexcel Information Manual, published annually. Certificates are issued weekly according to the schedule of dates published in the Edexcel Information Manual. Results should be reported only if the centre has clearance to certificate through reports from Standards Verifiers. Subject to this, results must be reported immediately following programme completion so that certificates can be issued as soon as possible.



256

Edexcel Standards Verifiers will provide support, advice and guidance to centres to achieve Direct Claim Status (DCS). Edexcel will maintain the integrity of Edexcel QCF NVQs, SVQs and competence qualifications through ensuring that the awarding of these qualifications is secure. Where there are quality issues identified in the delivery of programmes, Edexcel will exercise the right to: direct centres to take action limit or suspend certification suspend registration. Edexcel’s approach in such circumstances is to work with the centre to overcome the problems identified. If additional training is required, Edexcel will aim to secure the appropriate expertise to provide this.
